CRUZ-FIORINA 2016

Hello Bala!

Hello Yashwanth!

Did you watch Republican Convention?

Yes. I did.

What was your view on it?

In the whole convention, only three things will make it to the history book. They are:

• Michelle Obama and Melania Trump speech
• Ted Cruz speech
• Donald Trump speech

Is that all? They invested so many resources and billions of dollars. Out of those investment, only three things will make it to the history book.

That's right. All those Twitter trending will last only for that day. You ask anyone about Republican Convention. They will say only these three things. Some may talk about Rudy Giuliani speech; nothing more than that.

Everybody knows about the plagiarism of Melania Trump speech. Nothing more to discuss about it.

You know, this is the first time in the history of United States, a naturalized citizen will be the very first First Lady of United States.

Really! not a citizen born in the American land! Is it allowed in the Constitution? Could Melania Trump, a naturalized citizen become the First Lady? What does it say about First Lady?

In fact, the Constitution says nothing about First Lady. It is not a constitutional title. In fact, in Canada, they did try to adopt this style and call the spouse of the Prime Minister as First Lady of Canada; but that didn't work.

Donald Trump used to call Ted Cruz as Canadian citizen; and Ted Cruz is not legally eligible to become the President of United States. The same may apply for Melania Trump too. Melania may be legally eligible for the title of First Lady.

What will happen if the president is not married or widower?

In those cases, the daughter of the President gets the title as First Lady.

Oh! Then Ivanka Trump could be the official First Lady of United States.

To avoid all these confusions, Karen Pence could get the title of First Lady.

How that is possible? Karen is wife of Mike.

First Lady is not a family title. It is a constitutional title. The First Lady doesn't need to be the wife of the President. Donald Trump is the President. Mike is the Vice President. Karen is the First Lady.

Oh! no!! it is very confusing!

It will be more confusing in Hillary Clinton case. Had it been any other lady, then the husband could become the First Gentleman of United States. But, Bill Clinton still enjoys the title of the President.

It is simple. When Hillary Clinton becomes the President, her daughter, Chelsea Mezvinsky would get the First Lady title.

Why do they give a title as First Lady; Second Lady. What kind of culture it is? Either call Queen or call Mother or Sister. What is this lady?

Lady and Gentleman; there is nothing cultural about it. It is natural. Like Man and Woman. Mother, Sister, Wife, Daughter - those are cultural.

On the other day, the media person asked Donald Trump about his wife. Donald replied, "Melania is a very beautiful and attractive lady. Many men would like to watch her and so on..." As if woman is a commodity.

And, Newt Gingrich also made similar statement about Donald Trump's wife. Newt Gingrich said, Melania is very attractive and intelligent.

Intelligent is okay; but you don't quote other man's wife as attractive. In east, it would have been a disaster. They don't even understand the culture of the east; but they have been trying to solve the problems of the east.

The constitutional title, First Lady doesn't reflect the culture of the nation. Coin a new name; or just go with Spouse of the President.

Let us move on to the next topic, Ted Cruz speech.

That is America. It is possible only in United States. In China or in Russia, you cannot even dream about giving a speech like that. In United Kingdom, they will not create so much noise and will not let you deliver your speech.

In India and other democracy, you could deliver a speech like that; but, then you cannot leave the hall live; the crowd would stab you.

I think, Ted Cruz effect would cause more damage in the forthcoming Democratic Convention. Many Ted Cruz are awaiting for Democratic Convention.

This is democracy. Democracy is not about all saying "YES, YES" always. Democracy is all about freedom. Freedom is all about freedom of speech. Listen and Let others talk. Whether you agree or don't agree; don't ever deny opportunities for others.

If Ted Cruz could deliver a non-acceptable speech in Republican Convention, why not in Democratic Convention.

In that moment, Ted Cruz stopped being the regular politician and became a responsible citizen of United States of America. Ted Cruz action demonstrated to the entire world about democracy.

Democracy is not about preaching; it is all about practicing. Ted Cruz did practice the freedom in democracy and encourage others to practice their freedom of speech; not only in Democratic Convention, but beyond the land of America to the other parts of the world.

In fact, for a change, Ted Cruz became as Donald Trump in that moment. That was the style of Donald Trump; don't be afraid; speck of your mind; don't worry about others accepting your speech; you just speck about the right thing; people may or may not agree with you; but do the right thing.

That was the style of Donald Trump; not being politically correct; just being yourself.

In that moment, Ted Cruz was totally and completely politically incorrect; but Ted Cruz could speck the truth without worrying about the rewards or the punishments.

Why do you say that, that was Donald Trump style? Did Donald Trump change his style?

Yes. Donald Trump is now corrupted by the traditional politicians and by his family. Did you see his old style in his speech in the convention?

Only one short moment. Donald Trump said; those words were coming so naturally out of his heart.

"by the way; you were cheering, when I said, LGBT...."

The rest of his speech was totally and completely politically correct one. Donald Trump already lost his freedom of speech and corrupted by Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani and Mike Pence.

People were coming after Donald Trump for his originality; not for his political correctness.

People would start leave Donald Trump when they start realizing the fact that, he just become another politician; perhaps not a Washington politician; but New York politician.

Coming to the last point...

Ted Cruz is the first one to announce the running mate. Everyone wonders why Ted Cruz did announce Carly Fiorina as his VP.

All these candidates did drop out and endorse Donald Trump. But Ted Cruz didn't.

In fact, their presidential candidate position is still in open status. They didn't withdraw their candidate form from the election agency.

So, in the general election ballot, you will see:

Ted Cruz
Carly Fiorina

 

Make GOP Great Again

Will Mike Pence Run for President in 2016?

Hey Bala!

Hey Yash!

What are you watching in You Tube?

'When they come to save your life, 

they don't ask if you're black or white!' 

he said of police officers; 

'they just come to save you!'

that was from Rudy Giuliani's speech

This sounds original; coming from his heart; not from some speech writer.

Did you watch the Melania Trump and Michelle Obama speech?

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/19/politics/melania-trump-michelle-obama-speech/index.html 

This sounds like Melania Trump repeats after Michelle Obama. 

This is bi-partisanship. Both Democrats and Republicans come together and deliver the same message.

Twitter and this digital age is so disruptive. Melania Trump may had spent three weeks time to memorize the speech. In less than 2 hours, people started tweets about plagiarism.

They spent millions of dollars to organize these Convention. In no time, with no investment, the digital organization destroy them. 

Perhaps all head of governments may join together and bring a temporary ban for a decade on Mobile devices and whole Internet.  

What is this about speech writing. Instead, like movie play back singers, they could have someone read the speech from behind the scene and the person in the stage could just move the mouth to sync with the background speech.

Did John F. Kennedy have speech writer? Who wrote the speech like, 

“Ask what you have done for your country, not what your country can do for you”

I think that was his original message came out from his heart.

How about Winston Churchill, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Martin Luther King?

Oh! No! are you going to question the Silicon Valley CEO too? They give wonderful presentation. They are all original. They may seek help for spelling and grammar; but not for content.

 

 Bernie Sanders sounds original in his speech. He may refer with his team; but the content is his original.

 

So, how could Trump make America Great again, if they just follow the same path of Michelle Obama. 

Did you watch the 60 minutes on Donald Trump and Mike Pence?

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, speak to Lesley Stahl in their first joint interview 

  

Oh! No! Lesley Stahl! She is the best politician. She did give a solid punch on Donald Trump face! She did it with a style; with a smile on her face; he voted for it.

Lesley Stahl was referring to Mike Pence vote on Iraq war.

 

Obviously, Donald Trump didn't expect this blow. 

Mike Pence handled the situation with a smile on his face.

There is one way to unite the GOP. 

What is it?

Donald Trump did a mistake. GOP doesn't like Trump; but they do like Pence.

So?

Just switch. Make Mike Pence as the Presidential Candidate.

Then, make Donald Trump as the Vice Presidential Candidate.

Pope would prefer Mike Pence.

Mexico would prefer Mike Pence.

All those drop-out candidates would prefer Mike Pence.

In fact, all those disappointed VP candidates from Sarah Palin to Ben Carson would prefer Mike Pence.

Then, Donald Trump would run as an independent.

Yes. certainly. So, don't give that option to Donald Trump.

Make Donald Trump as the VP.

GOP is greater than any individual. Those seasoned politicians may take this final opportunity and thank Donald Trump for bringing in Mike Pence. 

 

GOP convention nominates,

Mike Pence as the President and

Donald Trump as his running mate.

Global Empire

Hello Bala!

Hello Yashwanth!

Did you hear the news about terror attack in Bangladesh, Istanbul and Florida.

Yes. I did.

Is there a way, all these terror attacks could be stopped?

No Way!

What! or you serious? People are dying. Innocent people are dying. We should stop it. How could you say, "No Way!"

Don't get emotional. Getting emotional doesn't solve any problem. In fact, it complicates the problem. You need to have a logical understanding of the challenge; the global challenge.

What logical.

Look at the operations. All operations are perfect and deliver the result.

You mean killing? How could you call those killings as operations? Then would you call those suicide bombers as executives?

First of all you need to understand the challenge. Then you could find a solution to solve the problem. To understand the problem, you need to give up emotions and get into logical discussions.

It will be hard. But, let me try to understand your logical explanations.

Good. As you said, suicide bombers are the executives. Terror attacks are operations. Operations are planned in their headquarters. Authority and responsibility are given to global executives. The executives do carry out the operations perfect and they do achieve their results.

In corporate sectors, we do plan global operations. But we never could achieve perfect results.

That's true. In corporate sectors, you give salary, bonus, perks and awards to your executives. Still they don't perform to your expectations. Here they don't get any of those; they get only the death as punishment; still the performance...; it is so sad; but the truth is their performance is excellent.

How could manage their operations at global level?

It is simple. Islamic State is a single organization. They don't have any competition from Al Qaeda, Taliban and so on.  It has only Executive Branch. They don't have any Judicial or Legislative Branches.

That's interesting. So, then they don't need to waste their energy in Congress; Bi-partisanship; House of Commons; Parliament. One Executive Branch without the burden of Legislative and Judicial.

Naturally, Islamic State is in a more advantage position. The British Prime Minister had to resign for some political reason. All other Government Executives are burdened with their domestic issues. The Prime Ministers don't even have stability. How could they win the war with Islamic State, then?

So, there is no use of labeling them as terrorists; terror organization; act of terror. It is not going to help. The Islamic State organization is real and does exist. The organization has only one Executive Branch with hierarchical structure. They don't waste their energy in Parliament debate and discussion.

They just plan global operations and execute their plan in the global arena. So, their operations are effective and the team is full of effective executives.

Here, look at all those drop-out presidential candidates. They did try to build a team of effective executives; but failed miserably.

Do you think, Donald Trump plan of banning all Muslims would help?

At least, Donald Trump has a plan. Others don't have any plan.

That's true. Will ban help?

Look at the heading: Ban all Muslim travel to US.

We need to appreciate Donald Trump. He refuse to follow the usual way of Washington politics. All politicians in Washington try to learn about various divisions and their history in the Muslim community. They try to learn the difference between Sunni, Shia and other divisions.

That's a good observation. Yes. Donald Trump didn't say that we will ban the Shia Muslim and will welcome the Sunni. In fact, the Islamic State organization also don't divide the Muslim. They try to unite global Muslim in one organization.

That's right. Islamic State try to build their global empire. Donald Trump try to build wall.

Banning Muslim and building wall is the right strategy to face the challenges of Islamic Empire.

Either build Wall or build Empire.

Banning strangers and building wall would provide you the security. At the same time, you will be locked inside a closed environment.

Locked inside a closed environment would create suffocation and create new problems.

Like what?

You need to ban air travel; sea travel and road travel too. Build wall along the border of United States and Mexico. Then build another wall along the border of United States and Canada.

Then, we would start building wall across California and Oregon and Washington.

Once you start building wall, then you cannot stop it. Right now, when you visit Lake Tahoe, you may see a stop light. This side is California and the other side is Nevada. In fact, one Swimming pool has a line with a mark that this side is California and the other side is Nevada.

It may get worse. The United States started with 13 states and then expanded to 50 states. That distinction is still maintained in the flag. 13 mother states has Stripes and other states have only stars.

So, banning Muslim would end up in banning Californians from entering into Nevada.

Then, Donald Trump idea of banning Muslim would be a disaster.

Yes. Ban and building wall would create more challenges.

But the illegal immigrants challenge from Mexico does exist. No one could deny it.

Is there a way available to solve this crisis without building a wall between US and Mexico?

Why do people cross the border? Mainly for economic reasons. They want to have a better economic life. That is the main reason, immigrants try to come into US in illegal way.

Could we improve the economic condition in Mexico, then there is no need for them to come into US. How could we improve the economic condition in Mexico.

Between Mexico and China, Mexico is our neighbor; China is in Asia. Developing Mexico would help US. So we need to encourage US Enterprises to do business with Mexico rather than China. If US Enterprises need to outsource job, let them very well go to Mexico rather than China.

In that way, economic condition of Mexico would improve and that would help US and other countries in the entire continent of America from Argentina to Canada.

Drug cartel would collapse once you build cartel for Software; cartel for Hardware; cartel for Financial Institutions. 

Once the Mexicans get wealth, let them visit San Francisco and enjoy Golden Gate Bridge. Let the tourist operators bring-in tourist visitors legally. Let the railway connect all countries from Canada to Chile.

So, building a wall and banning Muslim or Mexicans is not an American way. Uniting and bringing all human beings together is American way.

Coming back to main topic of discussion, Is there a way out of this Islamic State mess.

Yes. Build Empire. Just follow their way. To counter the challenges of Islamic Empire, let global community build a Global Empire.

As they used to say:

The British Empire stand for World Peace and Security. Defend it.

The British Empire is still the best model for any empire. It had only one Executive Branch. It did not have the burden of Judicial and Legislative branch.

Here is the hierarchical structure of the British Empire:

• Governor General
• Governor for Provinces
• District Collector

Their responsibilities include:

• Collection of Taxes
• Police Security
• Road Infrastructure
• Education

 The British Empire was a working model. The British did succeed in global operations.

Americans way of democracy is total failure in global operations. American didn't establish empire in Japan, Korea and Vietnam. They did try to empower the local with huge responsibilities in Afghanistan and Iraq. American experiment in global democracy is total failure.

Who does want the Legislative Branch?  Elections and Legislative Branches in both Afghanistan and Iraq failed miserably. Instead, the President could have appointed a Military Executive as the Governor General of Afghanistan and Iraq.

In Iraq and Afghanistan, they did start with Constitution, Election for Federal Government. The approach was Top-Down. That was a total failure.

Instead, the right approach would be, Bottom-Up.

• The US President appoint US Military Executives as Governor General or the President of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. 
• The Governor General of Afghanistan would appoint Governors for Provincial Government.
• Empower the local citizens for Local Administration and their job would be keeping the city clean; sewage and all other low level jobs.

Once the local citizens gain confidence they will ask for freedom and independence. That is how, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Burma and Singapore was built.

That is the way, the Middle East needs to be built. 

Here is the summary:

• Travel ban of Muslim - would lead to travel ban of Californian into Nevada
• Building Wall - would lead to building wall across the original 13 and rest of the states.
• Empire is a good thing. Don't call it as occupation.
• Empire is not about power; it is all about responsibility.

Let all head of states come together and form a single organization called Global Empire to counter the challenges of Islamic Empire.

The Global Empire organization would be responsible for:

• Collection of Taxes
• Police Security
• Road Infrastructure
• Education

Let the Global Empire take over towns and cities of Syria to start with and expand to other towns and cities.
